hi,
i think somethings gone wrong with via82cxxx_audio. Playing anything
through it seems to cause massive latency in apps like xmms, esd,
asmixer, etc.. anything to do with playing or mixer levels suddenly
takes a minute or more to respond.
It didn't always do this, and when it started happening i assumed it
was either something bad in esd or xmms (which i tend to upgrade a
lot). However it still happens when esd is disabled. eg, i use mpg123
to play an mp3 file, and asmixer doesn't change the volume till a
minute or two after i moused it.
if i SIGSTOP mpg123, asmixer immediately becomes responsive again and
implements the pending volume change, as soon i SIGCONT mpg123,
asmixer becomes very unresponsive again.
same thing with esd, if i STOP mpg123, other apps like esd and
non-esd mixers become responsive, soon as i start playing again they
go unresponsive.
same thing with playing from esd applications, everything inlcuding
the playing app itself (eg xmms) is unresponsive, if i STOP it, the
mixers instantly become responsive, soon as i CONT the playing app
everything is "dead" again.

the via is sharing an interrupt, though normally the buslogic is not
being used. (the interrupt sharing has been there a lot longer than
this problem)
i don't have the /proc/driver/via.... files that the docs mention.
